NSW Police Force Recruitment
The NSW Police Entrance Examination (PEE) is ACER's cognitive-ability assessment for aspiring NSW Police officers. Sat in about two hours, it pairs multiple-choice literacy, numeracy, and abstract-reasoning sections with a typed report-writing task. Literacy and numeracy are scored against the Australian Core Skills Framework at Exit Level 3, and each reasoning section carries its own pass mark. It is one stage of a wider NSW Police recruitment process.

1Read the passage: "Constable Reyes responded to a noise complaint at 11:40 pm. On arrival she found a gathering of about 30 people but no disturbance. She spoke with the host, who agreed to lower the music, and no further action was required." According to the passage, what action did Constable Reyes ultimately take?
A.She issued an infringement notice to the host
B.She asked the host to lower the music and took no further action
C.She arrested the host for disturbing the peace
D.She dispersed the gathering and seized equipment
Explanation: Reading comprehension rewards extracting only what the text states. The passage explicitly says the host agreed to lower the music and that no further action was required, so option 2 matches the text exactly.
2In the literacy section you must often decide whether a statement is true, false, or cannot be determined from a passage. A report states: "All vehicles parked in Bay 4 after 6 pm were towed." A car was towed. Which conclusion is logically valid?
A.The car was definitely parked in Bay 4 after 6 pm
B.The car may have been towed for a reason other than Bay 4
C.The car was parked before 6 pm
D.No conclusion about the car can be reached at all
Explanation: The statement only tells us that Bay-4-after-6pm vehicles WERE towed; it does not say those were the ONLY vehicles towed. So a towed car might have been towed for another reason. This 'affirming the consequent' trap is common in ACER verbal reasoning.
3Choose the word that is closest in meaning to "impartial" as used in: "A police officer must remain impartial when investigating a complaint."
A.Unbiased
B.Uninterested
C.Inflexible
D.Indecisive
Explanation: Synonym questions test precise vocabulary. 'Impartial' means treating all sides equally without favouritism, which matches 'unbiased'. This is a core verbal-reasoning skill in the ACER literacy section.
4Read: "The community meeting was rescheduled because the venue's air-conditioning failed during a heatwave." What is the cause of the rescheduling?
A.The heatwave ending
B.The air-conditioning failing during a heatwave
C.Too few people attending
D.The venue being double-booked
Explanation: Cause-and-effect comprehension asks you to link the result (rescheduling) to its stated reason. The sentence directly attributes the rescheduling to the air-conditioning failure during a heatwave.
5Verbal reasoning: "Some patrol cars are sedans. All sedans have four doors." Which statement must be true?
A.All patrol cars have four doors
B.Some patrol cars have four doors
C.No patrol cars are sedans
D.All four-door vehicles are patrol cars
Explanation: From 'some patrol cars are sedans' and 'all sedans have four doors', we can conclude that at least those patrol cars that are sedans have four doors, so SOME patrol cars have four doors. This is valid categorical reasoning.
6Identify the main idea of this passage: "Body-worn cameras have changed modern policing. They provide objective evidence, encourage professional conduct by both officers and the public, and can resolve disputes about what occurred during an interaction."
A.Body-worn cameras are expensive to maintain
B.Body-worn cameras have improved transparency and accountability in policing
C.Officers dislike wearing cameras
D.Cameras replace the need for written reports
Explanation: The main idea is the overarching point the supporting details serve. Objective evidence, professional conduct, and dispute resolution all support the idea that cameras improve transparency and accountability.
7Choose the word that does NOT belong with the others.
A.Witness
B.Suspect
C.Victim
D.Highway
Explanation: Odd-one-out questions test categorisation. Witness, suspect, and victim are all roles a person can hold in an incident; 'highway' is a place, not a person, so it does not belong.
8Read: "Despite heavy rain, the search-and-rescue team continued through the night, and at dawn they located the missing hiker, who was cold but unharmed." What can be inferred about the hiker?
A.The hiker was seriously injured
B.The hiker survived the night and was found in stable condition
C.The hiker was never actually lost
D.The hiker found their own way back
Explanation: Inference draws a conclusion supported by the text without being explicitly stated. 'Cold but unharmed' and 'located by the team at dawn' supports that the hiker survived the night in stable condition.
9Complete the analogy: Pen is to write as scale is to ___.
A.Measure
B.Cut
C.Drive
D.Listen
Explanation: Analogy questions test relationships between word pairs. A pen is a tool used to write; a scale is a tool used to measure (weight). The relationship is 'tool to its function'.
10Read: "Officers are reminded that all property handed in to a station must be recorded in the property register on the same day it is received." When must found property be recorded?
A.Within seven days
B.On the same day it is received
C.Only if the owner is unknown
D.At the end of the month
Explanation: Fact-extraction requires reading the exact requirement. The instruction states property must be recorded 'on the same day it is received', so option 2 is correct.
